It is built like a tank, can't flash its lights, and has had the horn removed. Now the owners can drive around Thai drivers and make it home alive.

Maybe the "toy" is in the wife's name and she's responsible for the payments ? Now that is smart.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right as the mercedes are always doing badly in reliability reports with Japanese vehicles always coming tops http://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability/car-brands-reliability-how-they-stack-up/ Mercs 17th guess all those Toyotas/Hondas whizzing past you as you sit trying to mend that pile of Merc junk just laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like the 3 series then it's probably not for you. The low end Mercedes are designed to be pretty, cool and uncomfortable (I think they industry term for this is "sporty") so they appeal to younger buyers to get people into the brand. In the rest of the world they're not exactly expensive so you can hardly complain about them. Yet Lexus beat them hands down in reports and thats "just" a Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Last car I had back home was a 2001 Merc E220CDi (deisel) with 5 sp auto, that was a fab car, very quiet and quite quick...Even had different climate control A/C settings for the driver and passenger as I remember...

bangkokairportlink Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Why arguing with cheap charlies who NEVER owned anything nice their whole life and will never until they die. I would NEVER drive a japanese car even if you would pay me for this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexuses have released some fine cars and their discrete styling is a plus for me but they cost as much as equivalent Mercs in Thailand so why bother?

Funny that, i had a 280 SE 3.5 when they came out years ago, cant remember some fancy setting bits either, but i remember it was the only car i had that if someone smoked in it,no one noticed ,the Air Con conditioned the air, not just puffed cold air.!! Also remember the Seats were like Cement Benches from outside Mom n Pops Shop. Memories yet Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
